Gwen Stefani Readies New Record

No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani is getting ready to release her next album.

Taking a break after the release of her solo debut Love.Angel.Music.Baby. to give birth to her first child Kingston, Stefani is ready for her next release.

According to NME, though the album doesn't have a title quite yet, it does have a release date: December 4. They also mention that fan websites are speculating that it might be called Sweet Escape.

According to MTV, Stefani said, "There's a lot of songs that were left over from the last album, and there's some new songs I did with Pharrell. There's a lot of Pharrell on this record. I did some stuff with [No Doubt's] Tony [Kanal] and some stuff with Akon."

Though she worked with Kanal on some of her new material, there's no word on whether or not they'll work together in No Doubt any time soon.
